Parking fines for certain areas are set to double from today.

Announcing the move last month, the Transport Minister Eamon Ryan said it would encourage a more considerate use of road space and promote active travel.
Meanwhile, Fixed Charge Notices issued in Carlow and Kilkenny for parking or stopping in a disabled bay rose from 66 in 2020 to 101 in 2021.
